Ashes and Hen Manure.

Ashes and hen manure, if mixed to-
gether before being applied to the soil, re-
suit in n loss Of ammonia from the drop
ping that greatly lessons the value of the
mixture. But if the ashes are spread on,
or narrowed in after the manure has been
mixed up with the soil, the ammonia will
be absorbed by it and remain in it for the
use of the crop. Wood ashes are a valu-
able application to soils deficient in pot
ash, and hasten the decomposition in
coarse mAnures.

Why Horses Rub Their Names and Tail.

The question, "Why horses rub their
names and tails, " has been answered by a
New York veterinary surgeon as follows;
Rubbing the name and tail usually re-
suits from an unhealthy condition Of the
skin, which in most cases is produced by
neglect of grooming or by bad food, or by
any sudden change Of diet from that to
good. Occasionally, however, it appears in
stables where grooming and food are UNI
Questionably good. Damaged oats or hay
IRE very ready causes for this annoying af-
fiction, In every case, therefore, where the

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS

Send to F. P. shumway, Jr., Boston,
Mass, for free sample copy of the Cor
TAeE HEARTH, a beautiful illustrated
magazine, and so realize what an ex-
traordinary offer we are making when
we offer to send both the COTTAGE
HEARTH and the Kenosha TELEGRAPH for
a full year for only $500, when the price
of the COTTAGE HEARTH alone is 81 so a
year. The Boston Transcript says of the
COTTAGE HEARTH:
/" Setting aside its literary contents,
which are of high order of merit, the
collection of receipts for the kitchen and
for the sick room, its practical sugges-
tons and advice for the raising and care
of plants and flowers, its instruction for
identifying homes by simple means,
and other practical features, make in
invaluable to every household"

ADJUDGED TO BE INSANE

John Albers, whose queer behavior has
| OF late attracted some attention. was
brought before bis honor Judge Van
Wyck, last week, and after exaplination
OF witnesses, and on the affidavits OF
Drs. Rohr and Saunders, he vas adj
judged to be insane. Mr.. Albers con-
celTed the idea that he had suddenly
become possessed Of much wealth. Up
20 within few weeks he had been
known as a shrewd, conservative person,
and when he suddenly branched out in
TO the widest kind of wildcat schemes
ne at once attracted the attention of his
friends. He proceeded to purchase
$1,000 worth of property from VIM. Nj.
Upton; he then sold nine out of twelve
acres owned by him to Upton for 5000.
Upton took a mortgage back for $500
on the real estate sold by him, the mort
gage drawing interest at the rate of 7
per cent per annum. When Albers was
asked how he expected to pay such an
Indebtedness he answered that he was
going to raise cabbages to do it. He
then wanted to borrow 500 of q promi-
nent groceryman in town, and when re-
fused he referred to the groceryman as
Delng fool. He afterwards wanted to
buy silk dress worth a dollar a ward
Tor his wife, who had heretofore been
accustomed to wear dresses of a less
expensive material He wanted to trade
his watch for gold one. He wanted
to trade horses with Gus Voltz, and offer
ed to pay the difference in value between
common farm horse and fancy stock
IN potatoes at so cents bushel. He
wanted to give DR.. Saunders 800 and
oHered to rent part of the "long home"
to DIR. Rohr as an Office for $50 per
month. He also threatened to take the
doctors life. He was occasionally very
profuse III his hospitality, and on one
occasion offered to treat his physician to
a couple of bottles of champagne, and
when a simulated beverage was pre-
sented to him by his wife he pronounced
IL good champagne. The delusion that
he was possessed of great wealth was
one OF the peculiar phases of monomanis
that invaded the portals of his mind,
and is illustrated by the fact that after
he had incurred an Indebtedness of So
5O0, he proposed to erect house worth
$4,000 when completed. Mr.. Albers
became violent while the investigation
was IN progress, and was placed in Gus
tody of an officer and lodged in Jail,
where he soon became raving maniac.
The unfortunate man was taken to the
State hospital for the insane last Satur-
day afternoon, and a guardian will be
appointed by the Court to look after
his interests. Mr.. Albers is a married
man, native of Germany, and about 81
years of age.
